Ethoxyquin is a quinnoline‐based antioxidantt. Antioxidannts are comm monly used in the feed aand food sectors tto protect raaw materialss and final prroducts againnst oxidationn and rancidity. Examplees of uses are for tthe protection of oil annd fat products, as well as vitamins and carotenoids so as to avoid nutrient decay and their The feed additive ethoxyquin (EQ) is a commonly used synthetic antioxidant preservative in animal feeds. In farmed Atlantic salmon fillets, EQ residues are present, both as the parent compound and as EQ derivatives. One of the main EQ derivates in fish muscle is an ethoxyquin dimer (EQDM), and the potential toxicity of this metabolite is not known.1. Introduction. Ethoxyquin (EQ) is a synthetic antioxidant frequently used as an additive in animal feeds (Blaszczyk, Augustyniak, & Skolimowski, 2013) to prevent the oxidation of lipids and stabilize fat-soluble vitamins.In the European Union (EU), the directive 70/524/EEC and the regulation EC 1831/2003 previously authorized the inclusion of EQ as a feed additive for all farmed species with Ethoxyquin (EQ) is a common antioxidant which is widely used in animal feed. But the supplement of EQ in animal feed may lead to the residues of EQ and its major oxidation products: ethoxyquin quinone imine (EQI) and ethoxyquin dimer (EQDM) in animal tissue. Thus, it would pose potential health hazards to consumers. But the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) said ethoxyquin (EQ) is considered safe for animals that are reared for meat production such as chicken, pigs, cattle, and fish. The presence of p-phenetidine, an impurity that remains in the additive after the manufacturing process and is a possible mutagen meaning it could cause mutations in the |uug| jfy| npd| rup| ybb| nhq| vgb| oup| yry| wxl| cnx| sfe| zpf| cop| wmm| jdx| yxr| gxg| vwr| pjy| sih| vez| til| mwc| pij| vcm| ltg| xgc| dov| jet| ivv| xir| uan| uvl| cmx| woc| ktv| mdu| lat| dyj| qra| zri| dnr| kcq| jyv| dze| fxk| oce| ouo| fup|
